The day William arrived at The Fallon Enterprise for the second time, he was properly welcomed, as if he was a new executive about to join the board of directors. The meeting William had with them this time was held in the grand and exclusive meeting room meant only for the board of directors. Stacy was also allowed to be present as she’s known to offer the same course and, thus, has the most familiarity with William out of the entire Fallon family.Mr. Fallon glared at William. “Young man, you really made me go through so much trouble just to get you here for the second time. You know that your audacious behavior can warrant trouble for you if you’re not careful.”William smiled professionally, giving the older man a head nod. “I’m aware. But I did what I did because I was confident in what I had provided you. Also, you would have never gone through these troubles to get me here if you didn’t verify what I had gifted you, right?”Mr. Fallon stared coldly at William for a minute,
“Wow! I still can’t believe you feel finalized such a troublesome deal with the Fallon enterprise!” Ian stared at William in utter disbelief.William shrugged his shoulders. “It wasn’t exactly easy but I’m lucky I pulled through.”“Nah, don’t say it like that.” Laura wiggled her right index finger at William while shaking her head. “Luck is one thing, but in this kind of situation, you definitely need more than that. That family has rejected the company’s contract for all these years. Then you came along and changed that on your first try.”“There’s also the fact that you just obtained 2.1 million merited value on your first try!” Drew pulled William by wrapping an arm over his shoulder. “Bro, you gotta teach me how you did it!”William looked around to find Armando, Amma, and Jed also staring at him with wide eyes. “Guys, really. I just did my best to convince them to finalize the contract. Also, their daughter studies the same course in BAU as me, so I guess you can call that an
Augustin McArthur was currently in a bad mood as he spoke to the police department on the phone. “Are you deaf? Do you not hear the orders out of my mouth right now?! I want you to release the young man by the name of Drake Fisher right now!”The voice on the other end of the call let out a sigh. “Sir McArthur, please, know well that I completely hear you. Unfortunately, things have to remain as I’ve said. Our hands at the police department are tied. We’ve got orders from above to keep that young man there unless his innocence is proven. There’s really nothing I can do about it.”“And what the hell am I supposed to do with that?!” Augustin burst out in greater anger, raising his voice to fill his private office. “Are you guys kidding me right now?! I pay you and your underlings to discreetly carry out my orders. Ma’am, I hope you haven’t forgotten that I’m the primary reason you made it where you are now.”“Sir Augustin, you’re not really hearing me either.” The head of police on the
William was still in the middle of finalizing the last project with the last company. Sadly, this was proving much tougher than expected. It seems the executives of this company have heard of his achievements, and they didn’t want to succumb easily to William, especially after they found out he was still a university kid and the newest intern at the McArthur Conglomerate’s Headquarters. They also believed he didn’t have any connections so they decided to make things hard for him.“Young Master, what are we going to do about this last family? They’ve been stalling on finalizing this contract on purpose to give you trouble.” Abigail spoke with a steely tone as she drove William back to the estate to rest for the day.William chuckled as he glanced at his head of bodyguards. “Wow! Even you have noticed by now despite not being that present during the meeting.”“That’s because they’ve been making their intentions very loud. Also, I hear some of those lousy executives making fun behind
William didn’t like this idea for some reason. He felt deep within his heart that something was wrong here. “Bo, wait!” Unfortunately, Abigail was out to take down the unlucky bastards who dared to target her young master before he could even stop her. A few seconds later, the sounds of gunshots intensified as William kept his head ducked despite his windshields holding up. He could tell at this point that Abigail and her team – the seven second-in-commands – had engaged these unknown threats. But then a minute had passed by and the right was still going on.This was when the worry in William’s heart was spurred. Abigail and her team are McArthur bodyguards with altered abilities that wouldn’t be considered normal by any means. Knowing this, they should have handled whatever situation this was and whoever was responsible. Yet, the fact that this battle was still going on was troublesome. This meant that Abigail and her team were facing a group of armed people who could somehow ma
Augustin McArthur had been enraged when he found out days ago that his brother had made sure he could never get his son out of prison. He had definitely not expected Billiard to suddenly take this much interest in this. He had tried to go to the McArthur estate to reason with his brother but he was quickly informed that the estate was not allowing any visitor, including immediate and extended family members. It was obvious that Billiard didn’t want to give him any chance to sit and talk about Drake. At that point, Augustin, who knew his brother quite well, knew that Billiard’s action seemed like some sort of retaliation. It seems that Drake had messed with someone who was dear to Billiard during his period of domination. Augustin was certain, though, that it wasn’t Cordelia, and yet, he wasn’t too sure, so he asked his informants to look into it. Following this, Augustin soon suspected that the main reason for Billiard’s interference was because of William. He then decided to loc
Augustin frowned at this scene, wondering who was here to interfere with his dealings. These new cars soon made their stops and the helicopter in the distance also landed. People began to exit and descend both the cars and the helicopter.“Who is this? Who has the audacity to interrupt me?” Augustin growled out as he was discontent.“Sir, we’ve got company from the McArthur estate.” The McArthur bodyguard in charge of Augustin’s team spoke in his master’s ear. He could easily recognize that those cars and that helicopter had the most familiar insignia despite the stark darkness. After all, his eyesight was far better than Augustin’s.Hearing this, Augustin froze a bit, wondering why exactly someone from the McArthur estate was here.“Master Augustin, don’t you think you’re a little too far from home right now?”William’s heart jerked slightly as he recognized this gentle yet firm voice. He turned his gaze to find the familiar figure of Mike Barathea walking into the light created
“Sir Augustin, if you want some answers, you’re going to have to come with me.”Augustin’s proud facial expression dwindled. “What do you mean?”Mike Barathea smiled wider. “I mean that I have been sent by Master Billiard to collect you. He would like to have a private discussion.”“Then why didn’t he just contact me for that?” Augustin tilted his head, unwilling to yield with a satisfactory excuse.“Because it involves the elders of the McArthur family and the knowledge of a certain….illegitimate child.” Mike Barathea spoke these words with a slightly mocking gaze, knowing how this would affect Augustin.Augustin felt a shock rushing through his heart and he struggled to maintain a calm façade. “W…what do you mean by that?” This seems to be his repeatedly asked question right now.“I would elaborate if you want me to, but I doubt you would want me to do that here.” He then gestured at the helicopter. “Please, come with me.”Augustin stared at Mike, looking for a sign that he w
